A team of LSU researchers has pinpointed a specific type of lung cell that acts as a master switch for the harmful inflammation caused by a dangerous class of air pollutants—a discovery that opens the ...

Tumor cells can lapse into a sleep-like state and thereby evade the destructive effect of cancer drugs. In some types of the ...

Older adults are much more likely to become seriously ill from flu or COVID because aging lung cells can drive excessive immune responses, according to a new study led by researchers at UC San ...

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections, particularly in newborns and older ...

Acute lung injury (ALI) involves widespread inflammation and increased lung vascular permeability, often leading to morbidity and mortality. Management remains supportive, with no specific treatments ...

The drug, acquired in Pfizer's $43 billion purchase of Seagen, did not outlast standard chemotherapy in a 703-patient study ...

After a four-month investigation, Nature Medicine has decided to pull a viral study that linked early-day PD-1/chemo ...

Researchers have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system. Researchers from the Francis Crick ...

Two-dimensional (2D) culture models are commonly used in cancer research, but fail to recapitulate complex mechanical cues of native tissues. In this study, we developed an ex vivo three-dimensional ...

A delivery system that uses lipid nanoparticles to sneak proteins into cells can accomplish the same feat by smuggling ...

HER2-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a rare form of lung cancer where the cancer cells have a mutation that makes them grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. You can best understand ...

Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer diagnosed in the U.S. Just over half of all non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) are adenocarcinomas. Finding out that you're at risk of lung ...
